and one of the problems with the ed snowden thing is it completely exposed this double standard in the united states about the interests of american citizens versus the interests of everybody else in the world. if we lose the impression that we are out there trying to advance an architecture for the world, that is in the interest of these other people, many of the realizing we are not, talk about soft power deterioration, we lose the influence to affect so many situations because people think we are just in it for our own era national interests. so somehow there needs to be an overlay that reflects the kinds of trends that lead to a tipping points that lead to deterioration that may not be in 2014 in terms of people killing each other in mass numbers but if you don't do certain things like the security sector capability much more effectively addressed, throughout large parts of the world, things continue to slide. i love this discussion. i love this pool. it tells me where things are going to blow in 2014 but doesn't tell me what my opportunities are to make some of them less likely. >

snowden affair. you can see that at c-span.org. here's a quick look of what you'll see. a year nk that 2013 was that set in motion some very, very, very powerful forces that served to weaken the perception of commitment by the united eyes of american allies around the world. and i think that the two main events here, one was really an event, the other was a slow rolling out, but i think the first was the snow den affair and the -- snowden affair and the whole set of consequences around the affair itself. but also the uncertainty with which the administration has dealt with what happened with snowden. are they backing n.s.a. are are they not backing n.s.a.? what's important here, what's not? the lack of a strategic response by the administration, and i think in particular this is really put -- this has really put a huge risk on what had been a growing relationship between the u.s. government and high-tech firms on cybersecurity issues, on counterterrorism , that was mutually trustcial but i think the factor there is gone on the part of the private sector. i gave a speech

it has to do with an estate leaker edward snowden. the editorial board of the new york times dubbed him a whistleblower. it says that the enormous valuation of the statements revealed and the abuses he has revealed -- he deserves better than a life of permanent exile. he may have committed a crime, but he has done the country a great service. it is time for us to offer him a plea bargain or some sort of sentencing and will allow him to return home. he should have the hope of a life advocating for greater privacy. that is the lead editorial in today's new york times. asked you this morning whether you think you'll retire on time. how has the economic situation of the past several years impacted your retirement plans? patricia is waiting in pinellas park, florida. good morning. caller: good morning. i wouldlike to say that like to see baby boomers retiring on time. that at my age, i will retire on time. baby boomers are still out there. they are getting into their senior citizen dazed. even way past their ages, they are making it stagna

there's been the edward snowden case. there's been a sense that politically russia itself is kind of veering in the wrong direction. remember president obama came into office in 2009 vowing to reset u.s.-russian relations. there was a period for a couple years where u.s.-russia cooperation was been prioritized by the administration. they got some important gains out of that in terms of russian support on afghanistan, on iran and elsewhere. as that agenda run out of steam, there's been these areas of disagreement that has become more prominent. the administration has become under increasing political pressure to back off. there's the canceled summit last year which happened right at the whole snowden broke. now we're just kind of at a moment where politically there's not a lot to be gained from focusing on cooperation with russia. actually in terms of deliverables, this terms of concrete things that the administration can chalk up, i think setting aside syria where there is some war going on and the geneva conferences will

unfortunately we are seeing all of these effects with the snowden leaks. i'm also concerned that we see much more risk aversion from the administration to collecting the intelligence needed to protect the nation. i expect that the cia general counsel you will fully support any criminal investigation into the leaks of classified information regardless of who might be responsible or why they occurred. when you and i met last week he agreed it was critical to gather intelligence through intelligent -- through interrogation of suspected terrorists. i remain very concerned about the administration's ongoing failure to develop a clear detention and interrogation policy. i understand the president made a promise to close guantanamo bay, but it is deeply troubling and shortsighted that not one terrorist has been added to the list of those being held and interrogated as long-term detainees in the last five years. as a cia general counsel i hope you will be a strong advocate for full, lawful intelligence interrogations without maranda and without attorneys. there is
